Project abstract

The challenges posed by climate change affect the entire international community.

Climate Earth system models are key tools to understanding climate change and its effects on society and are at the basis of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections and EU policy on climate change. In Europe there are several groups with extensive experience in developing climate Earth system models and many of these groups already work together.

The EU-funded project IS-ENES aims to promote the development of a common distributed modeling research infrastructure in Europe in order to facilitate the development and exploitation of climate models and better fulfill the societal needs with regards to climate change issues.
